More details, clearly expressed and punctuated, please?
What bass are you using? What cab? Cab details? What is your exact setup (all cabs, amps, basses, effects, yadda yadda).
Is the overdrive channel on the amp turned on and turned down low by some chance?
Bad cables? Did you try different cables?
Are you using a speaker cable to connect the head to the cabinet?
Interference by a radio, tv, or cell phone?
Bad battery in your bass (if it's active)?
It'd help if you fill out your profile information with what equipment you are using too. It helps people know what you have when you are in a jam like this.
don't turn the boost above 12 o'clock. without better grammar on your part, that's all i can think to tell you.
keep your boost below your master volume. also, make sure your channel volume isn't cranked. those gk backlines are set up oddly, and you have to really play with all the different volume knobs to get the sound clean.
Are you using a speaker cable to connect the head to the cabinet? not at the moment
You NEED to use a SPEAKER CABLE to connect your amp to the cabinet.
